A non-timely recertification is received after the 15th of the last month of the certification period until 30 days after the end of the certification period. Process any application for recertification NOT submitted in a timely manner using the same time frames as an application for initial certification. If the application is received before the end of the current certification period, the EU does not qualify for expedited service. EU may qualify for expedited service if recertification is received in the 30 days past the previous certification if meeting other criteria.
NOTE: If the application is received within 30 calendar days after the certification period ends, do not verify income if the source has not changed and the amount has not changed by more than $50, unless the information is incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent, or outdated.
